Does buildr supports multiple sub-project?

[femto Zheng <fe...@gmail.com>]

Hello all,Does buildr supports multiple sub-project?
I mean, more like maven's style, has buildfile/pom under
each subproject, not in a big one file.
But from the documentation of buildr now, I seem to only
see the example only can use one big file in the root dir
of all projects,
now I use

eval(File.read("subproject1/buildfile"))
eval(File.read("subproject2/buildfile"))
to support this.

I guess you *could* split projects into different files and use Ruby's
Kernel::load to piece them together but that's definitely not a common
practice in Buildr land.

No, buildr does not support multiple projects defined in multiple files.
On the contrary to Maven, Buildr wants to use less files and make your build
clear for everybody.

Note that what you are doing means that those subprojects might not be set
up correctly, in particular they might end up having their target folder in
the wrong place.

If you think your projects should have a different lifecycle, in particular
if versioning should be different from one project to another, you should
create a buildfile per project. If you use git, note that the whole
repository needs to be tagged when releasing, and it's best in that case to
put one project and one buildfile in the repository, no more.

Thanks,

Antoine
